A Cross-Country Christmas

De: Courtney Walsh

Narrado por: Reba Buhr, Will Collyer

Lauren Richmond isn’t a fan of Christmas.

Which is why she rarely makes the trip home to the Midwest for the holidays. After all, she has plenty to keep her busy—namely, her duties as a set decorator on a TV sitcom.

But this December, Lauren‘s brother and his wife are expecting a baby, so her brother arranges a ride home for her with his good friend, Will.

Unfortunately for Lauren, she’s been trying to forget college baseball coach and childhood crush Will Sinclair for more than 10 years.

Now, thanks to her fear of flying, she’s stuck in a car with him from California to Illinois.

She’s circumspect and organized. He’s flirty and spontaneous.

She’s convinced that people don’t change. He’s trying to prove to her (and himself) that he has.

On this cross-country road trip, they’ll both discover that history doesn’t exactly repeat itself...but like any good Christmas carol, it does have a second verse.

Twist of romance

It is always a romance but this offered a nontraditional storyline. Quick and easy listen

Kisses only contemporary romcom

I really enjoyed listening to this book. The story is fun and well-written. The audio is a dual narration. Both the male and female narrators were great. Really liked this one!

Wonderful Story

4.5 rounded up to 5 stars. This was a sweet, slow burn Christmas-themed story. I enjoyed the dynamic between the two MCs and feel like Courtney Walsh captured perfectly the fear of letting yourself be vulnerable with another person. I loved the theme of second chances and showing grace as well.

Finally, the actors that read this story did fantastic! I thought they captured the emotion of the story well and were very articulate. I would recommend!

Lovely Christmas Story

This was such a sweet Christmas story. I loved the characters and enjoyed their journey together. As the book progressed, I found myself looking forward to the next stop on their journey back home. This book made me smile, laugh and even shed a tear.

A fantastically fun romance with real heart

This is rom-com at its best. Walsh delivers tear-inducing laughs, swoon-worthy romance, heart-squeezing grit, and moments that make you go "awwww." This story absolutely checks all the right boxes without being predictable. I love it and highly recommend it!

Loved this holiday story! Such a sweet, happy and thoughtful ending for the main characters!

Family, true love and self reflection

This story was absolutely precious. I thought it depicted the everyday overthinking we all can relate to. It was spot on with many factors of life. The story of true love, family, and Christmas warms my heart.

Cute short book

It was light weight and good. Good story line and lesson behind it. I would listen to it again.

Enchanting & Filled with the Heart of Christmas
